Blackstick f. Lloyd Arntzen & Al Pease w. Special Guest Holly Arntzen
Sun. July 25th 2021 1:30pm - 3:30pm doors at 12:30pm (All Ages) Classics from the Golden Age of Jazz - including music from greats such as Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet - performed by two legendary clarinetists/sax players: Lloyd Arntzen and Al Pease! These musical giants have been swinging, reinventing and reinvigorating classic jazz on the West Coast for the past 70 years.
Lloyd and Al are joined by singer Holly Arntzen, who grew up in the wilds of Lynn Valley listening to her dad’s jazz bands jamming into the night. Carved into her heart were songs by Bessie Smith, Alberta Hunter and Kay Starr, songs that she now interprets with love, energy and fire.
In the band are Victoria’s finest players: pianist Tom Vickery, bassist Don Cox, and drummer Don Leppard. Come celebrate being together again to enjoy live jazz in all its glory!
